“Barry,” Alec Berg and Bill Hader’s tragi-farcical HBO series, raises the stakes as its final season reaches its midpoint.

The dark stuff in “Barry” has outweighed the funny for a while now. Barry has plowed through more plots in 90 minutes than many a much longer show, and so here we are: Four episodes into the final season, NoHo Hank has killed all the “partners” he and Cristobal were working with on the sand-trafficking operation.
Fuches, who has turned on Barry many times and then rediscovered his love for his mentee , once again decides that he loves Barry. He stops cooperating with the FBI and tears off the wire he was wearing to get Barry on tape. The Barry/Fuches relationship has cycled through so many iterations of solidarity and revenge that it feels impossible to care much about this — or be surprised by anything either of them decides about the other.
The season badly needed a pause and an occasion to establish some new, less dingy stakes. Its focus on boyhood makes sense; a TV show about a hit man who needs a father figure so much that he settles on two — his handler and his acting teacher — was always going to sharpen its take on fatherhood eventually. Dads are scary on this show . They are careless . Dads are sad . And dads are dead .
